Heidi Brown is the CEO and Editor-in-Chief at Brilliance by Brown, Inc., a media company for skin health. On this episode, Heidi shares her journey as a C-Suite executive, and the power of resilience, and what it takes to build a media company, transitioning from the tech to the skin care industry, and the importance of being transparent and providing a holistic approach to womens' skin health and wellness. The launch of Brilliance by Brown in late 2019 was a response to the lack of skin wellness insights and minimal marketing of skin care products to women over the age of forty. With a multicultural lens that spans the spectrum of skin tones and skin types, this single-source game changer leans into aging well, features conscious-minded skin care companies, provides skin wellness awareness programming, offers virtual access to medical experts, and thought leaders, and recommendations of skin care products for skin which requires more nourishment from head to toe.

Meet Kelly Gunther, an Olympian who's story will inspire you.  At the starting line before every race my mantra was, "Go fast and turn left." Meet Kelly Gunther, a retired Olympian in long track speed skating.  The journey to become an elite athlete has its challenges both mentally and physically.

Kelly has always loved going out of my comfort zone, whether she was enjoying the thrill of speed skating or learning to push herself off the ground.  Kelly has not only overcome a devastating injury, but living with a learning disability with grit, grace and strong commitment to her faith.

Discovering her own strengths took time. But when she finally decided to let go of fear, she realized that the only limit was myself.

Join a 'perimenoposse' of savvy, hopeful women around the world who subscribe to my global digital magazine, where each week I cover the latest research, public policy, tech, business, podcasts, products, movers and shakers and more.

How’s your energy level? Sleep? Brain fog? Heard of frozen shoulder, burning tongue or formication? Those are just some of the dozens of symptoms of perimenopause – aka the other puberty, second childhood etc – and it’s never too early to find out all about it.

Ann Marie McQueen is a  journalist going through this fascinating and frustrating rollercoaster too – and she's obsessed.

She'll never stop reminding you that it’s time to normalize menopause – and we are entering one of the most powerful phases of our lives.

I believe in spirited movement and revelatory stillness. That we are made to move and be moved in ways that astonish us, lifelong. That physical movement can be spiritually seismic. Breath and sweat are doorways to the heart—noise cancelling headphones for the symphony of our DNA. That ultimately, the metric that matters is joy.


Today my guest is Nicole Meline, and we talk about this thing she calls, "heartward leadership"

Navigating our teens comes with some unexpected waves and currents.  Today my guests, Cynthia Muchnick and Jenn Curtis have authored a book to help you calm the currents and steady the waves.  They are the co-authors of: The Parent Compass.

Bragging rights and bumper stickers are some of the social forces fueling today's parenting behavior, and as a result even well-intentioned parents are behaving badly.

​

Many parents don't know how best to support their teens, especially when everyone around them seems to be frantically tutoring, managing, and helicoptering. So tune in to this episode to get answers and strategies to some of the most challenging times as parents.

You can purchase the Parent Compass and connect with Cynthia and Jenn here:

How often do we say, "It's not our mom's midlife."  Well today's guest tagged that very thing...the new midlife.  Meet Michelle Newman.... Podcast host of the new mid podcast, and Founder of the new mid academy.   

The New Mid is a frank, funny look at women in mid-life and their day-to day-struggles and successes, as well as the big stuff - questions about meaning, fulfillment and happiness. It’s a place where women in their 40’s and up are breaking societal boundaries and expectations, while still dealing with real life issues such as caring for aging parents or restarting their careers.  You’ll get real talk with nothing held back about the topics you care about, with experts weighing in on health, sex, finances, relationships and everything in between.

You can reach Michelle Newman here to find her podcast, her academy and all that she's got going on.....

 My name is Lorraine Miano. As an Integrative Holistic Health Coach certified in hormone health, and author of the bestselling book “The Magic of Menopause: A Holistic Guide to Get Your Happy Back!”, I am especially passionate about working with women in all phases of menopause who have weight, metabolism and aging concerns, so that they can have more energy, less stress and feel comfortable in their own skin.

It’s time to change how we think and act about the change of life.

It’s time for the “2nd Talk.”

With over 37.5 million women going through menopause, and the fact that women will spend 50% of their lives as post-menopausal, steps can be taken at any age to keep menopause symptoms from affecting your life in a negative way.

There are so many myths and misconceptions about menopause, and I’d love to help you navigate this sea of confusion!

It’s time to say “adieu” to the “taboo”!
